# Tooltip

Inline hover tooltips for adding supplementary context without cluttering the main text.

**Interactive playground** For isolated previews, theme switching, and sandbox editing, open [the Tooltip playground on holydocs.com](https://holydocs.com/components/tooltip).

## When to use

Use this component when you need stronger document structure, annotation, or narrative pacing inside a page.

## Live Examples

Every example below renders the real component directly inside HolyDocs, followed by the exact MDX you can paste into a page.

### Basic

Block-level tooltip wrapping content.

Hover over this text to see the tooltip.

~~~mdx
<Tooltip tip="This is additional context shown on hover">
Hover over this text to see the tooltip.
</Tooltip>
~~~

## Props

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `tip` | `string` | `--` | Text displayed inside the tooltip on hover. |

## Usage

Start from this baseline shape and then tailor the copy, data, or nesting to the page you are writing.

~~~mdx
<Tooltip tip="This is additional context shown on hover">
Hover over this text to see the tooltip.
</Tooltip>
~~~

## Tips

- Keep the surrounding copy short so the component remains the focal point instead of becoming redundant chrome.
- Prefer one clear job per component instance. If a block is trying to explain, navigate, and warn at the same time, split it up.
- Check the page in both light and dark mode when you stack multiple content components together. Dense compositions can feel heavier than expected.
